CONTEXTUREARCHITECTS is an architectural firm mostly focused on designing healthcare projects. We have started to focus on elderly care in China 5 years ago. At first, we started with designing senior centres, rehabilitation clinics and dementia villages. Now, we have evolved to designing bigger projects/communities, such as healthcare towns and healthcare industrial parks. With our healthcare design expertise, we help the Chinese government, developers and investors to build more suitable institutions and communities for the Chinese elders.

How does this solution contribute to improving elderly care?

We bring the most advanced international elderly and healthcare design philosophy to the Chinese market. Elders living in senior centres/communities designed by CONTEXTUREARCHITECTS are having physically better, mentally healthier and happier lifestyles. Besides the elderly living environment, we also carefully consider operation routes, and make sure the operation management will have the most efficient work environment.

How does it work?

Evidence-based researches conclude that “Healing Environment” has a lot of impact on the wellbeing of patients and elders. Some examples are as follow:

  • Seeing & touching nature, both indoor and outdoor, decreases depression.

  • Bring in daylight to indoors as much as possible.

  • Remove hospital atmosphere and add more soft & home feeling to the interior.

  • Creative active social spaces to avoid loneliness.

  • A good work environment to increase the productivity of the operation team.

Why is this solution relevant for China?

China has a rapidly growing elderly population. Many elderly care institutions and healthcare communities are needed to match the demand. We would like to bring the most advanced Dutch and international elderly care design philosophy to China, to help the development starts from the best standards.
